Modular escalator modernization

With our modular escalator modernization solutions you can renew individual components or complete systems. For example, you can choose upgrades that improve the safety and appearance of your equipment while leaving the mechanical components intact. With modular modernization you benefit from the latest technology and keep your equipment in line with the latest regulations, all with minimal inconvenience to tenants and visitors.

Drive

Modernizing a traditional worm-gear drive with the eco-efficient KONE Direct Drive reduces energy consumption and increases reliability and performance. Because critical components are easily accessible, downtime is minimized and maintenance is quicker and easier.

Chain

Our lubrication-free step chain eliminates oil smells and the risk of oil leaking through the cladding. This significantly reduces the risk of fire and makes maintenance easier.

Controller

Replacing an aging controller with a modern microprocessor-based unit will significantly improve safety and energy efficiency. The KONE 501 controller connects to the latest safety monitoring systems for increased peace of mind.

Appearance

Bringing the visual appearance of your escalator in line with your building’s look and feel – or turning it into an eye-catching feature – couldn’t be easier. You can replace any or all of the balustrades, access covers, comb plates, skirts and decking, cleaning and balancing steps, as well as the lighting.

Safety

It’s important to make sure your escalators comply with all relevant local standards. We offer various solutions for bringing your equipment up to date, including brush deflector systems, dynamic braking, and additional safety signage.
